Ouida
A just chastisement may benefit a man, though it seldom does but an unjust one changes all his blood to gall.
Ouida
A cruel story runs on wheels, and every hand oils the wheels as they run.
Ouida
It is a kind of blindness--poverty. We can only grope through life when we are poor, hitting and maiming ourselves against every angle.
Ouida
When passion and habit long lie in company it is only slowly and with incredulity that habit awakens to finds its companion fled, itself alone.
Ouida
Youth without faith is a day without sun.
Ouida
Take hope from the heart of man, and you make him a beast of prey.
Ouida
Fancy tortures more people than does reality
